Lu Huan also understood that this awkwardness wasn't a solution. If he blindly insisted, he would push her away one day.

At least, she was still by his side.

The current priority wasn't to let his imagination run wild. It was to find that otherworldly master who was said to be psychic.

But with Lu Huan's current strength, even if he heard of the existence of such an arcane master, it would be very difficult to find where he was in a short time.

He already couldn't bear to slowly look for him. If he wanted to find him sooner, he had to borrow some power.

There were many soldiers and officials in the camp of the Protector General who traveled extensively. The General's Mansion also had spies all over the Yan Dynasty. Perhaps they could help him find him sooner.

Thinking of this, after sending Su Xi off that day, he went to the Zhenyuan General's residence again.

Recently, the Protector General intended to cultivate Lu Huan. Every time he had a meeting with the Minister of War, he would call on this youth.

But recently, the Protector General had a very troublesome matter.

The conscription that had taken more than two months had ended. The expedition was imminent.

But in recent years, the Yan Dynasty's treasury was empty. They had manpower, but the treasury couldn't afford the army's provisions.

The Protector General also knew The Emperor's dilemma. If the provisions had to come from the treasury, it would be hard to avoid increasing land taxes and corvee labor this year.

The taxes of the Yan Dynasty weren't light to begin with. They had even started levying salt taxes since the cold winter of last year.

If he issued a decree and continued to increase the taxes, it would probably intensify the riots and the people would have no way to make a living.

And if the provisions were taken from the pockets of those officials who were rich in benefits, it would inevitably affect the power of the capital.

No matter what decision he made, it would affect the situation as a whole. He was in a dilemma.

He rubbed his eyebrows and said to the Minister of War, Lu Huan, and several other strategists in the camp, "During the court session today, there was a big argument in the throne room. The Prime Minister's group was afraid it would affect their interests, so they firmly disagreed with the officials' donations. Now that the Prime Minister's family is the strongest in the court, The Emperor will inevitably favor the Crown Prince's side.

I'm not afraid to continue arguing with him, but I'm afraid that if it drags on for too long, the North really won't be able to stop him. The consequences will be unimaginable! "

The strategists were also deeply worried.

Lu Huan thought for a moment and asked, "General, how long can the army's rations last?

Is three months enough? "

The war in the north was going to be a long one. Since ancient times, there had never been a war that ended in three months. This time, if they wanted to completely defeat the neighboring countries that were eyeing them covetously, they would need to station the troops there for at least a year and a half. That was why the Zhenyuan General and the others were having such a headache over the issue of provisions.

The Minister of War replied, "At present, there are still some commoners who have sent food and fodder. In addition to what we already have, we should be able to last for about four months."

In other words, they had to gather at least four months' worth of rations within four months.

This was not a simple matter.

Although there were many wealthy merchants in the Yan Dynasty, these merchants still had dealings with neighboring countries and would not easily do any good deeds.

Moreover, many of these merchants had made their fortune from the chaos of war and were eager to see the Yan Dynasty burn with the flames of war.

Lu Huan mentally estimated the farms that he and Demon God owned. It was now June. By the fall of this year, the total output would have long since exceeded two thousand kilograms. These farms could indeed feed the people for a short period of time, but compared to the army's rations during a time of war, it was still a drop in the ocean.

If they wanted to solve the current predicament of the Yan Dynasty's northern army, they had to find wealthy merchants who could afford the rations and barter with them.

However, these merchants were already rich enough to rival a country. What did they need?

On this day, after the meeting at the General's Residence ended, the others turned and left. Lu Huan stayed for a while longer. He told the Zhenyuan General that he wanted to try and see if there was a way to get rations, but he wanted to trade with the General. He would have to trouble the General to find someone for him.

The Zhenyuan General now had a whole new level of respect for this youth. He believed that he was indeed resourceful and that he had been too prejudiced before.

Even so, he still felt that it was impossible for Lu Huan to accomplish such a fantastical matter by himself.

However, it was a good thing for a youth to be ambitious.

Instead, he felt even more admiration in his heart. He patted Lu Huan's shoulder and said, "This old man will send someone to do what you want. However, this is a military problem. You just have to do your best."

Although the Zhenyuan General had a somewhat stubborn and self-opinionated temper, he was still a man of his word. After agreeing to Lu Huan's request, he immediately sent someone to find the Taoist priest that Lu Huan had said could summon spirits back to life.

However, he and Lu Huan weren't sure whether or not they could find him.

Su Xi found that Zaizai had suddenly become busy, as if he had something on his mind and urgently wanted to do it. He was several times more diligent than before.

Previously, he used to walk back and forth between the government office, the Imperial College, and the official residence all day long. Now, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink or eat. Most of the time when Su Xi was online, he was either at the farm or at the government office.

Often, when Su Xi was offline, he was still flipping through files by the light. When Su Xi was online, it was already the next day. He still hadn't slept, and there were no traces of him being unfolded on his bed.

Su Xi didn't know what his ultimate goal was. He thought that he was busy with the important matter of gathering provisions. He even sighed that Zaizai was indeed a good child who worked for the country and the people.

Su Xi felt that it was a good thing that he had ambitions and ideals, so he didn't disturb him. However, he was a little distressed by the dark circles under his eyes and the red veins in his eyes.

Once, Su Xi found that Zaizai had been so busy that he hadn't slept for two days. There was even some light stubble on his chin.

Su Xi was speechless.

Su Xi was shocked.

Wait, wasn't this a cartoon style? Did it have to be so realistic?!

However, Zaizai quickly changed into his official uniform and went out. He shaved off the stubble and returned to being a soft and cute little bun. Only then did Su Xi heave a sigh of relief.

It was only at this time that she realized that almost a year had passed in the game even though half a semester had passed in her world.

Previously, she had accompanied Zaizai to celebrate his fifteenth birthday that night at Prince Ning Fu. In a few months, Zaizai would be celebrating his sixteenth birthday in the blink of an eye … She didn't know what surprise Zaizai wanted for his second birthday.

However, it was gratifying that after returning from the military camp, the awkwardness between her and Zaizai finally disappeared.

Su Xi couldn't understand why Zaizai's mood was so unstable and unpredictable during those few days. She could only explain that there would be a few days every month when he would be in a bad mood.

She was like that, and so was Zaizai. It was normal.

Fortunately, Zaizai returned to normal after a few days.

Su Xi excitedly began to sew and mend for Zaizai. She changed Zaizai's quilt from spring to summer. When autumn arrived, she changed Zaizai's quilt to a thicker one. In short, she was very concerned about not letting Zaizai catch a cold.

Zaizai was still happy deep down. He looked at her with his dark and bright eyes. However, there were some complicated emotions in his eyes that were yearning for more. Su Xi couldn't understand it.

Time didn't pass as quickly as in the game. To her, it was just another month of raising Zaizai.

The first thing she did after school every day was to go online and greet Zaizai. Then, the two of them would be separated by a screen. One studied seriously while the other worked diligently.

When Su Xi was tired from studying, she would take Zaizai to the streets for a stroll. Although Zaizai had a lot of things to deal with in the government office, he always put her first. Whenever she wanted to play, Zaizai would leave everything behind. It seemed that Zaizai wasn't a completely good official.

Su Xi felt that with Zaizai's company, she was more serious when studying. Before the end of the semester, she had already finished the homework for several subjects this semester. When she flipped to the last page, Su Xi was a little stunned.

Only the main mission in the game was a little confusing.

The mission to unlock Zaizai's background and find the nun at the Monastery of Eternal Spring. Su Xi didn't know if it was the right time or something else, but she took Zaizai to the Monastery of Eternal Spring twice. She searched inside and outside the Monastery of Eternal Spring inside and out, as well as every bluestone floor tile, but she still couldn't find the nun who might be an NPC.

The system's explanation for this was that there were other main missions that had not been completed. She had to wait until mission two and six were completed before mission nine would be revealed.

Thus, Su Xi had to give up.

The second mission of two thousand kilograms of grain had been completed from last year to this year. It was considered a long-term accumulation mission, so it couldn't be rushed. Su Xi estimated that the farms that Zaizai was expanding should be able to reach this goal after this autumn harvest.

As for befriending Wan Sanqian —

She was thinking about how to get to know the richest man in the Yan Dynasty through other channels.

Originally, according to the route planned in the game, Zaizai could have come into contact with Wan Sanqian from the side mission that day when she threw the embroidered ball at the market.

But damn it!

That side mission was killed by Zaizai!

As a result, until now, Wan Sanqian hadn't appeared in her and Zaizai's vision.

Su Xi was a little confused. She didn't know why Zaizai was so against getting close to his harem. Since he was going to ascend the throne in the end, he would definitely take Long Aotian's script. But Zaizai had turned Long Aotian into a calm and abstinent young monk.

This matter couldn't be rushed, so Su Xi calmed down and accompanied Zaizai around the farms, the government office, and the Imperial College.

On this day, Lu Huan returned from the yamen. As usual, he waited for a long time under the eaves. When the familiar wind wrapped around his fingertips, a trace of gentleness appeared on his face, which had become much thinner in recent days. He said to the person beside him, "I want to discuss something with you."

Su Xi tugged at his left sleeve, indicating that it was okay for him to say it directly. Could it be that he had been thinking about this year's birthday present for a few months in advance?

He's just a child, Su Xi thought.

But what Zaizai wanted to say was something more important.

Over the past few months, Zaizai had been expanding the farm business.

After he took the position of Minister Counsellor of the Second Department of the Ministry of War, he began to have a salary. Previously, he had received a reward from The Emperor and received a lot of silver from the Old Madam. He didn't lack silver, but the farm was a little short of manpower. That was why he was so busy.

The farm gradually expanded to eight places. In addition to the one in the capital, he also set up a farm in Ning County, Fengzhou, and Shandu.

Su Xi followed him to unlock the three places. He even watched Zaizai personally go to the three places to choose and hire people to watch over the farms.

In each farm, he used the convenience of greenhouses and cold shelters to let the workers plough in the spring and harvest in the autumn.

Now that it was the end of autumn, the grain output had naturally far exceeded two thousand kilograms.

And this grain, which far exceeded the output of other farms and plantations, was given to the poor people of the Yan Dynasty by the workers in a way that didn't reveal their names.

Since the frost disaster last winter, many people of the Yan Dynasty had been displaced. They couldn't eat a mouthful of hot food, and many people starved to death.

Now, although the grain wasn't enough to solve the plight of too many people, it was enough to let some of them survive.

This could be considered as one of the good deeds that he had accumulated.

And because of this, there gradually began to be a rumor that there was an "unknown kind-hearted rich merchant" in the streets. They were grateful to this rich merchant who helped the people but didn't show off.

At this time, the rumor had not reached the ears of The Emperor, but most of the officials in the capital had heard about it. This was similar to the mysterious doctor who saved thousands of people in the Yong An Temple last winter. It was inevitable that people would associate the two things together.

But Zaizai was busy with this for the past few months, and his purpose was definitely not just this.

In the Yan Dynasty, when the price of grain was soaring and the output of all the farms was extremely poor, the output of the farms managed by him and Su Xi could be as good as before. It was even higher than the record of the highest output per mu in previous years.

Naturally, it attracted some people's attention.

Wan Sanqian, Zhong Ganping, and some other rich merchants in the capital tried to inquire about it. There were even people with bad intentions who secretly sneaked into the farms outside the city, trying to figure out the principle of the cold shelter and the greenhouse.

But only Su Xi and Lu Huan had the blueprints. Even if these rich merchants found skilled carpenters, they wouldn't be able to distinguish the kerosene lamp that had long been condensed into powder, the thickness of the kraft paper, and the amount of wood that could be controlled. They might end up making a fool of themselves.

In other words, the cold shelter and the greenhouse were two things that were advanced in the Yan Dynasty and brought great convenience to crop cultivation.

But it was equivalent to a patented technology that only Su Xi and Zaizai had.

And if they wanted to expand the scale of the farms and carry out mass production to feed more people, they would need more manpower and external forces.

So, Zaizai planned to recruit a helper.

Su Xi understood when he said that. In fact, he wanted to chain the farms with the greenhouse and the cold shelter and find a partner who wouldn't betray them.

The candidate that Zaizai considered was Zhong Ganping.

Zhong Ganping was a person who started from scratch. From their interactions that day, he wasn't a cunning and sly person.

Moreover, after the incident at Yong An Temple, his youngest son was saved by Zaizai. Zaizai also saved his family's life. He would never repay kindness with enmity.

Therefore, this person could still be trusted.

Su Xi immediately pulled Zaizai's left sleeve, indicating that he agreed with him.

Zaizai's judgment of people was very accurate, and his decisions had never been wrong. Su Xi was very assured of him. In addition, Zhong Ganping was completely loyal to Zaizai in the [Friends with Heroes] column in the system, which meant that there wouldn't be any problems.

In fact, in this year, Zaizai had grown rapidly. Su Xi, as the one who raised Zaizai, couldn't help Zaizai much.

Zaizai could solve all the problems by himself.

Even so, Zaizai still wanted to discuss with her every time there was a problem. He probably wanted to make sure that she was always by his side.

Thinking of this, Su Xi looked at Zaizai, who was standing under the eaves and had lost a lot of weight. A warm feeling flowed through her heart. She couldn't help but reach out and pinch Zaizai's bun face.

His bun face had lost a lot of weight. It wasn't as bouncy as before. Su Xi complained in her heart.

Zaizai was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he rubbed his face and his ears were a little red.

But after a moment, he seemed to be unable to hold it in. He looked into the void and said word by word, "I'm about to turn sixteen. I'm no longer a child. You …"

He seemed to be a little angry and helpless. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't treat me like a child."

Su Xi, who was outside the screen, couldn't help but laugh when she saw him say such words with a huge bun face.

But Zaizai on the screen seemed to have noticed that she was amused by him. He frowned and looked into the void without saying a word.

He pursed his lips. His dark eyes were fixed, reflecting the flickering candlelight under the eaves. A complicated, dark, stubborn, and indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.

Previously, Zaizai avoided the embroidered ball in the market and missed the side task. But to Su Xi's surprise, after the autumn harvest, Wan Sanqian took the initiative to come to her door.

Wan Sanqian was different from what Su Xi had imagined. He turned out to be a little thin person. But despite his thin figure, the expression on his face was very shrewd.

Naturally, he had come here for the cold shelter and the greenhouse.

Every time Zaizai returned to the farm, his whereabouts were extremely secretive. Until now, there were rumors in the capital and even in the three continents of Feng State. Everyone knew that there was a wealthy merchant who saved the world, but they didn't know the true identity of the merchant.

After all, Zaizai's whereabouts were elusive. Moreover, the tasks that Zaizai gave to Master Ding several times were all in the form of notes.

But since Wan Sanqian could become the richest man in the Yan Dynasty, he obviously had some skills. Although he hadn't found out Zaizai's identity, he had found out Zaizai's whereabouts. So on this day, when Zaizai was in the house in the outer city, Wan Sanqian came in person.

In order to show his sincerity, Wan Sanqian didn't bring anyone. He only brought a personal servant.

He wanted to buy Su Xi and Zaizai's cold shelter and greenhouse technology at a high price. The price he offered was ten thousand taels of gold. This price made Su Xi speechless. His eyes were suddenly filled with $$!

No wonder he was the richest man who could rival a country!

But Su Xi knew that if he gave the blueprint technology to him today, he would definitely use this technology to earn more or even double the money. At that time, it would be the people of the Yan Dynasty or even other countries who would be taken advantage of.

This was the difference between him and Zhong Ganping. During times of war, Zhong Ganping honestly earned some money and then helped the people. But Wan Sanqian took the opportunity to amass a windfall during the war.

It couldn't be said that Wan Sanqian wasn't good. It could only be said that he was shrewd and a complete businessman.

Zaizai naturally couldn't give him the blueprint, but he still planned to cooperate with him.

With Zhong Ganping and Zaizai's strength, they were still too weak and too slow to improve the Yan Dynasty's current food shortage.

In the entire Yan Dynasty, only Wan Sanqian had such financial and material resources.

What's more, Zaizai still needed the thirty thousand shi of provisions to support the war in the Northern Region.

So Zaizai negotiated with Wan Sanqian, asking Zhong Ganping to operate the cold shelter and greenhouse, and Wan Sanqian to invest in the farm, manpower, crops, chickens, ducks, and raw materials.

This model was equivalent to Wan Sanqian investing. After the profits came out, he would distribute the dividends according to the profit.

Wan Sanqian was in a passive position at the moment.

Because he heard that Zhong Ganping had the most advanced operation and the farm technology that far surpassed other farms, the rich businessmen in the capital and even in the entire Yan Dynasty rushed to invest and get a share of the profits. If Wan Sanqian didn't do this, Zaizai didn't lack his votes.

Su Xi turned on the screen to do his homework while watching the profit negotiations between Zaizai and Wan Sanqian popping up on the screen. He couldn't help but smile. He felt that Zaizai was a business expert even in modern times. His ability to invest in this circle was very good.

The cooperation was quickly reached. Although Wan Sanqian didn't get what he wanted, he also understood that a man whose heart was never content was like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

This person and Zhong Ganping's technology would bring about a new generation for all the farms in the Yan Dynasty.

Even if this person's basic purpose seemed to be for the people of the Yan Dynasty, he expected that soon, this person would become a new noble among the rich businessmen in the Yan Dynasty.

At this moment, if he were to participate in this capital, there would definitely be a hundred benefits and no losses.

After Wan Sanqian left, the mission completion message popped up on Su Xi's screen.

[Congratulations on completing Mission 2: Grain production has reached 2000 kg, and you have met the richest man, Wan Sanqian.]

[Congratulations on gaining + 8 points!]

This mission was the one that had dragged on for the longest time. But planting and harvesting originally required a year, so Su Xi felt that the progress was very smooth.

She looked at the 62 points and felt a little excited.

But soon, Mission 6 was also about to be completed.

Mission 6 was to control the famine, become famous in the capital, and obtain the title of "Unknown Godly Merchant," and preliminarily attract the attention of The Emperor.

This mission itself was parallel to Mission 2.

These past few months, Zaizai had been expanding the farm day and night. Although the purpose was to gather grain for the army in the north, it just happened to be on the path of the main mission.

As an investment, the entry threshold to play this game. The next day, Wan Sanqian followed Zaizai's request and took the initiative to hire an escort company to escort the grain to the frontlines in the north.

The grain issue that the Zhenyuan General and the others had been worried about for several months was unexpectedly resolved just like that.

The next day in the throne room, this matter caused an uproar.

The Emperor was in high spirits, and his dragon face was full of joy. He said to the Zhenyuan General, "Great General, you are indeed a pillar of the country. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do in this battle!"

The Prime Minister, the Crown Prince, and several other officials didn't look very good. They clearly didn't expect the Zhenyuan General to actually resolve this matter.

The Zhenyuan General was also incomparably shocked. Three months ago, Lu Huan told him that he had a way to persuade Wan Sanqian to voluntarily deliver the grain to his door. He thought that this youth was just boasting and didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!

But he absolutely didn't expect that in these past three months, when he led the other officers and soldiers and only managed to gather a few thousand dan of grain by every possible means, Lu Huan would really persuade Wan Sanqian to deliver grain to the frontlines. This delivery was tens of thousands of dan, and they actually didn't have to worry about the grain for this year!

The Zhenyuan General was simply wild with joy, and he was even more certain of the Minister of War's recommendation that day.

Thinking of this, he planned to ask for a position for that child Lu Huan.

"Your Majesty, this old official was able to smoothly resolve the grain issue this time thanks to one of my subordinates. This old official wants to ask for a promotion for him."

If this matter was revealed to the court that it was all Lu Huan's doing, he was afraid that Lu Huan would make countless enemies. It was better to let him be under his command for the time being and wait until his wings were fully developed before making other plans.

The Emperor was incomparably relaxed and happy at this time. When he heard the Zhenyuan General say that one of his subordinates had performed meritorious service, he thought that it was Wan Sanqian who had done a meritorious deed this time. Naturally, he didn't hesitate to reward him.

When he heard the Zhenyuan General say that it was Lu Huan, he couldn't help but smile and casually praise him. "I have some impression of this youth. Previously, the Grand Commandant also praised him in front of me. To be able to receive the appreciation of both the Grand Commandant and the Grand Commandant at such a young age, he should be a worthy talent. I want to meet him some other day."

Of course, although he said this, how could the Emperor remember the name of a minor official at this time?

That night, the officials of the Second Division of the Ministry of War immediately sent an imperial edict, conferring Lu Huan the position of Deputy Commandant of Cavalry. He was in charge of supervising the Feathered Forest Cavalry, and was a Secondary Rank Four.

The managers of the Second Division were all stunned. Previously, when they saw the Minister Counsellor frequently running to the Zhenyuan General Mansion, they thought that he was just helping the Zhenyuan General handle some miscellaneous matters. After all, the Zhenyuan General looked down on them, who were in charge of the Ministry of War, and dealt with a bunch of scheming scholars.

But they never expected that in just a few months, Lu Huan would be promoted again!

At the age of sixteen, he was already a Secondary Rank Four!

The managers of the Second Division were endlessly envious. Even the Minister of the Second Division was somewhat jealous. He watched as Lu Huan was promoted twice in a row, and now his official rank was even higher than his own.

In the Zhenyuan General Mansion, the Zhenyuan General was rarely in a good mood, and held a banquet for Lu Huan. She toasted to the Grand Commandant Of Cloud and other good friends, and asked them to take care of Lu Huan.

The Zhenyuan General didn't have a son, and treating a son of Prince Ning Fu like this, could it be that she was planning to adopt him?

Prince Ning Fu's Old Madam could be considered a distant relative of the Zhenyuan General. If she wanted to adopt him, this youth who was somewhat estranged from her was indeed the best candidate.

However, in the past, the Zhenyuan General looked down on Prince Ning Fu the most!

Everyone looked down and couldn't help but have a higher opinion of this youth who had repeatedly shown his talent in the capital over the past year. In the future, they would probably have to treat him as a capable subordinate of the Zhenyuan General.

Thus, they all went over to toast him.

The manager and doctor from before still had to call him Lord Lu.

At the same time, Prince Ning Fu was also in an uproar. Lu Huan had already moved away from Prince Ning Fu for several months, and in just a few short months, he actually gained the favor of the Zhenyuan General and was promoted to Rank 4 of the Ministry of War?!

The Old Madam was extremely excited. She originally wanted to have the servants quickly invite Lu Huan back, but when she remembered that Lu Huan was currently entertaining guests in the Zhenyuan General Mansion, she did her best to suppress her excitement. She still hadn't realized that Lu Huan had already decided to draw a clear line between himself and Prince Ning Fu. She still thought that this was her wise decision to send this son of a concubine into the imperial court as an official. Otherwise, this son of a concubine wouldn't be where he was today!

As for Lady Ning, who had been unable to recover from the setback ever since her family fell from power, when she heard this news, she naturally felt incomparably bitter.

Putting these words aside for the time being, a message quickly popped up on Su Xi's screen:

【Congratulations on completing Mission 6: Manage the famine and become famous in the capital. You have received the title of "Unknown Godly Merchant" and have initially attracted the attention of The Emperor.】

【Congratulations on receiving a reward of 10 points!】

Su Xi cursed in her heart. Zaizai had been so busy these past few months that he had lost a lot of weight. These two side missions had been completed at the same time, and now the points were —

She counted, and her eyes immediately lit up with excitement. She now had a total of 72 points!

Cavalry Commandant, Rank 4 of the Secondary class, oversaw the Yulin Cavalry. His official uniform was crimson and embroidered with lions. Su Xi also liked it very much. Zaizai had already collected three official uniforms so far, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment just looking at it.

Tonight, Zaizai was supposed to be entertaining guests at the Zhenyuan General Mansion, but for some reason, he suddenly made a trip back. Behind him was someone from the Zhenyuan General Mansion who seemed to have just reported something to him, which made him extremely excited.

He wasn't sure if Su Xi was there, but he immediately rushed back from the General Mansion.

Su Xi didn't know what had happened to make Zaizai so happy. He was so happy that his eyebrows and eyes lit up, and there was a hint of ecstasy in his eyes. He had been busy day and night for the past few months and had lost a lot of weight, as if it was all for this moment.

Was it because he had been promoted?

Su Xi found it a little funny. She thought that Zaizai would be calm about being promoted and getting rich.

Zaizai had walked step by step from Prince Ning Fu's small firewood courtyard to where he was today. It wasn't easy at all. She was always happy for Zaizai, but Zaizai himself was always indifferent to honor and disgrace.

Today, it was the other way around. Her mother saw that he had been promoted as if she had seen him get good grades again. She was already used to it, but he was walking as fast as he could, as if he was running towards the moon.

When Su Xi saw him come in, she closed the door and stopped the guards outside. She knew that he was probably looking for her.

Thus, she plucked a pear blossom and stuffed it into his hand.

The sixteen-year-old young man ran through the streets and back, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his fair forehead.

He panted and looked down at the snow-white pear blossom in his hand, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted into a smile.

Then, he looked into the void, and his eyes shone with ecstasy, as if he was about to go crazy from happiness.

In Su Xi's eyes, Zaizai's face was unprecedentedly excited, and there were several small suns on top of his head. What was going on?

Su Xi was affected by his excitement and couldn't help but smile. She pulled his hair, trying to figure out what was going on.

Then, she heard Zaizai try his best to suppress his ecstasy. He took a deep breath and said to her, "I found someone who can help you host your body!"

It seemed that he was too excited, and his voice was trembling a little.

His eyes were full of hope, "Let's go see that person tonight, okay?"

Su Xi was speechless.

She held her breath for a second.

She never thought that for the past few months, Zaizai would wake up day and night for the rooster crow, and he didn't even have time to eat a few mouthfuls of rice. So, it was because of this matter.

Recently, when she saw that Zaizai didn't study those books about Asking the Gods, she thought that Zaizai had finally given up, and her heart was relieved.

But it turned out that …

Zaizai's obsession was far deeper than she thought.

Su Xi looked at Zaizai, who didn't know what was going to happen in front of him, and whose eyes were full of desire and hope. Her heart suddenly hung high.

Nothing happened, but her eyes were sore, and her heart ached.
